Building, customizing, playing, loving and re-homing great basses since 2016. A player and lover of all things bass. Thanks for looking - tell a friend!

Not looking to get rich by overcharging like many shops, just enjoying building, customizing, finding, fixing and selling good bases and amps to good people. A true believer in what I call "hustler karma" - I try to give good deals and in return I get good deals, which keeps the ball rolling. There's no real evil in life, only greed, ego and stupidity - none of which you will find here. Get your Bass Browsing on at my Reverb page (click "Shop Now" on my page banner) and I'll also list some on here. Thanks to my loving and computer-savvy wife April Drake, I now have this page and will be updating it regularly.

Got a couple vintage Fender Precision basses for sale if anyone is interested. A 1974 in 3 tone sunburst and a 1978 natural blonde.

Keeping the Black in blackjackbasses. Definitely my favorite finish for a P or a J. Turns out it looks killer on a vintage Kramer as well.

Remembering when my wall was about as good as it gets. German Streamer double buck, Sadowsky NYC, 1986 Wal 5er, FenderElite, Modulus Vertex, Fender USA Select P, Ernie Ball Music Man 5er and a USA Spector just out of shot. Damn, I was blessed and enjoyed every moment with each of them. Only the Sadowsky NYC Precision which found it's way back to me the others are in good hands.

Just finished this customized Fender Precision build. I recently built a similar Jazz and it sold quick so here's the blackjackbasses customized Fender Precision version.

Next up on the bench, my own version of the Pino Palladino Precision. Main difference being this one has a Jazz neck. Alder USA Custom Precision body with MJT nitro finish and subtle relic. American Fender 60's Jazz neck with the clay dots and switched out logo.
After building my version of the Steve Harris Precision and Marcus Miller Jazz this is next in my tribute to some of my favorite Fender signature series basses. Check out more on my page and thanks for looking.

Good wood and boiled linseed oil. Beautiful Jazz necks for future blackjackbasses custom builds.

Another customized signature series Fender. After doing my own take on the Fender signature series Marcus Miller Jazz shown on my page, I wanted to do this signature series Steve Harris Precision. Mine being Black which Fender doesn't do. They have the White body with the crest emblem or the older MIJ which is lake Placid Blue. This is a brand new build with the exception of the badass bridge but it's in great shape. Alder body, Maple Precision neck and fretboard with original 70s reissue tuners. Seymour Duncan quarter pounder pickups and mirror pickguard. Black is beautiful and this one plays and sounds as good as it looks. Hit me up if interested and thanks for looking.
